That's me cycling again on Monday - my scooter has been returned to the garage to get a duff battery replaced. That involved a 30-mile ride to Kirkcaldy on a cold winter's day. Going over the Forth Road Bridge was not fun on a day like today. Fortunately there was no crosswind, but I still felt like the proverbial brass monkey. I was shivering by the time I reached Kirkcaldy. (And I had a tee-shirt, a jumper and a US Army winter jacket on.)
I returned to Edinburgh just about in time for dinner so I left the shopping I meant to do. A quick call to the local take-out place and a 40-minute wait later I had a steak pie supper (proper chips, not those anemic pieces of deep fried potatoes that Micky Ds make) while watching TV. I still had to go for the shopping, so went up to Asda (the local Wall-Mart affiliate) after watching Sea of Souls. I got home about 23:30 and started blogging.

Oh, hah!
Only thing better is homemade home fries.

Got my scooter back on Tuesday - it turned out to be a blown fuse. Most expensive fuse I've ever bought - the repair was free (under guarantee) but I paid £5.00 for petrol and a further £9 for two train tickets. Further repairs will be at a local (Edinburgh) garage.
And coming back across the Bridge was a bit hairier - a crosswind was building and I only had my unifoirm tee-shirt and the coat on. Frozen again.
But look how lucky you are, Andrew.
Your fingers thawed enough to type all these letters.
